Mommy Musing Monday – Jet setter

Posted on January 6, 2014 Posted in 2014, Baby, Family, Holidays, Monday Musing, Ontario, Parenting, Toronto .

So this is my first Mommy Musing Monday for 2014. Keep your expectations low so that they’ll only get better.

I have some draft posts in my head covering other topics, but those will come another day.

This year for Christmas, we took Missy Moo to visit Matt’s family in Ontario. It was her first Christmas and boy were we busy! In addition to 12 fun days, we then returned home to have a second Christmas with my family. Between all of the excitement, I managed to let my guard down and my sinuses took advantage of the moment and held a coup… but I’m almost feeling 100%.

Lots of people fly with offspring, including babies. I now have a better appreciation for anyone who does.

Click.Those special moments

Posted on April 2, 2013 Posted in 2013, Montreal, Ontario, Photography, technology, Toronto .

My camera and I have a very sordid relationship. I love it very much, but it doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. Then when it receives lots love from me, I don’t know what to do with all of the photos I’ve taken.

I’m OCD likes to take over when I’m processing photos. I bought a copy of Lightroom back in 2011 and it was a mixed blessing. I have lots of great tools and editing magic at my finger tips, but it’s easy to get hung up on needing every photo to be perfect. I struggle with that, but am working through it. I also have a very hard time deleting photos, and there’s a good reason for that…

But there are those moments where you and your camera are in sync. There’s something about the lighting, the composition and the timing. It’s like the universe comes together and says, “Quick, take a photo. Now! Click! Wow!” And you’re so happy you did.

In no particular order, here are just a few photos I’ve taken that are on my Flickr account that I care dearly about. I have so many more. I’ll try to share more soon. Continue reading →

Eight years ago

Posted on March 27, 2013 Posted in 2013, Family, Nostalgic, Toronto .

Looking at the calendar, I realize that it was exactly eight years ago that I met Matt. It’s amazing to see how much can change in just eight years!

Big thanks to our best friend Christina who gave me a ride back to Toronto after I had spent Easter weekend in 2005 visiting my childhood Jason and his family.
Would you believe that even though we had just met, Matt and I didn’t stop taking for the ENTIRE drive from Barrie to Toronto? Shocking I know. Ha ha.

And the best part is, we haven’t really stopped talking ever since. <3
